Studies repeatedly show that over 90% investors fail to beat the market average.
Don't remember the source, but that one computer program that randomly selected stocks versus real investors who carefully chose stocks.
They came out more or less equal.
How many of you faggots still think index investing is superior to doing your own homework and picking stocks accordingly?
>>1098356
What does your homework entail that allows you to beat everyone else?

Buying undervalued stocks. Christ, read a Benjamin Graham book.
Dude sell. Wtf is wrong with you, OP. Who holds a stock that's up 90+%? Greedy fucker
G'day
I would like to know how anonymous receiving a payment via Paypal really is.
The deal:
I created a business account and I'm about to receive my first payment using PP. Will my customer be able to see my personal account number and name?
(Of course he will be able to figure out who I am because my business is registered, but still I'd rather have it a bit more private)
Word on the internet is the customer need an email address, and then he/she will only see the information about the company. That true?
Bump
Up
Call pp and ask.
Fuck.
Is going to work for a start up a bad idea? I have a steady boring job in an established corporation and it feels like doing time.
Yes, most start ups are a mess just like large companies, but with limited opportunity to get promoted/establish a career path.

Depends on the startup. You need to keep a couple things in mind. First, understand that the goal of most startups is to be bought out within the first 5 years so make sure to have a leveraged position in the company with stock options in this eventuality. Second, treat this like a company would treat M&A. Make sure to do enough due diligence and take a fine tooth comb to their financials and earnings reports. This way you will be able to tell the viability of their business model and if there are any deficiencies...

take an interview and meet the people. if you like the team better then try it out i don't see the problem.
if the place you're at now is actually established you could easily do side projects or have your own team though. the only benefits to a startup beyond "potential" are flexibility and having a real voice in the company. but most startups will give you none of those unless you're the type of guy who could have founded your own startup.
Any anons got Tai Lopez accellerator course? I want it but it's too much money.
Any other similar (and better) course recommendations would be great.

If his method worked so well do you really think he needed to sell public speaking to people
Do you guys remember the Jewish pack I proposed about Bitcoin in late 2015? Namely that we would all hold our coins -at least- until the block halving occurred? Let me guess, most of you bought your coins during the high 400s and the moment it crashed to the high 300s you sold all your coins? And don't bullshit me, I know most of you faggots did this and I want you all to take a long hard look at yourselves. Look in the mirror and see yourselves for what you are: a pack of scared, clueless investors, flocking to the next technology you don't understand to try get rich....

>2. Learn to control your emotions. Don't run screaming like a scared faggot when the market is being irrational - create a plan and stick to it.
This applies to any investments. You should be buying when prices fall, not selling yet everyone dumps when shit falls like a bunch of retards. Then a year later they whine when it goes back up. You're preaching to the deaf OP, these faggots will never learn.

What does /biz/ think? Is this a good idea for a businnes or is it just a meme?
I'm thinking of entering this market, producing food through hidroponics in a highly controlable environment for the plants (air, light, nourishment, etc) in order to increase efficiency. (aka Plant Factory). Do you think it's worth it?
Just grow dope
Some colleagues and I started the initial phases of drawing up a business plan for this stuff. One of them wants to base it off of DUDEWEED but im skeptical. He says because of US decriminalization, you can grow a lot of it, brand it, and sell it to dispensaries as your brand name weed.
Basically the most important part of your weed is brand name consistency. Like the Mcdonalds of weed. You buy some, you expect the same shit you could buy in New York, or Texas or Montana
I am not interested in producting only one product like weed. what i'd like to do is to be able to compete against normal farming, creating more and better product for a cheaper price. The yields per area are at least 100x better than traditional farming. The problem is the very high initial investment and production costs.
How does one cope with student loan debt after college? Is it really difficult?
I am going to be paying about 22k/yr for my university.
My university's average starting salary is $46,000.
Worst case scenario.. I don't get any scholarships or grants during college. Is the debt following graduation really going to handicap me financially? How long does it usually take to pay it off?
>>1099072
You will be a slave to that debt and corporate america. Good luck.
>>1099076
Thank you so much. You're so smart and aware and that's exactly the answer I was looking for.
>>1099072
What are you majoring in?
Let's suppose you have 88k of debt (I seriously hope you're not stupid enough to do the 5 year undergrad meme)
Let's also suppose that you get an average salaried job and live in a moderate sized town in the midwest where the cost of living is around 1500 per month. Your take home is going to be around 2800 per month assuming no additional deductions.
In principle, you can put around 16K per year towards paying down student loan debt. Assuming no pay raises...

any tips?
I wish biz was harder to troll, it really compromises any advice I would consider taking on here. Maybe it's for the best--I probably shouldn't take anyone's advice on here.
see you after 50+ replies

Be firm. Be honest. Do it quickly.
Don't beat around the bush.
Though pulling a bandaid off of a wound quickly is bad for the skin, it hurts the least.

general manager, of, like, a baseball team?
how do you decide when to buy and/or sell stocks? do you look into reports regarding that company's ventures, acquisitions, marketing scheme, and so forth, to decide how people are going to react? like if people are going to drop the fuck out of one stock, are you going to buy them because they're lowered and will rise after the next quarter? or is this just superficial nonsense? what do you need to analyze?
i don't want to be the guy that spends two dollars to buy one.
>>1101509
buy high sell low OP
Figure out when the company will be releasing earnings reports
Trade at around that time
I make my purchases once a quarter regardless of anyone's outlook on the market and I plan on selling before I retire. Trading is stupid.
Here's my story:
Been accepted to a top 5 (globally) university for a MSc in math. BUT, I have great job prospects right now. (130k USD starting, room for advancement, etc.) The job will not be there after my master's, and I'll be two years behind, I will have lost money, my soul will be crushed by academia. What do I do? Does having a MSc from such a 'big name' school really help me out in the long run? Or do I take the job? I worked my ass off in my undergrad to get relevant work experience in the hopes of not having to do a master's.
Depends what you do with your learned skills.
Just like anything ever.
So, what are you going to do with those skills?
>>1101368
I'm working with a quantitive group in biotech. Large genomic datasets, essentially. I would like to get into management (obviously) and away from nitty gritty day-to-day problem solving.
>>1101377
So, what are you going to do with those skills?
I can do unlimited photocopying at my company, with staples and everything.
How do I make money out of it?
P.S. London.
Print popular textbooks although they are given out for free generally.
Why are neets a problem in the UK?
I thought since the government was socialism, you could stop working and live in a slum and be happy and the government was fine with that?
